Ubly officials will tour Gemini Group expansion

The Gemini Group will be showing off its newly constructed 200,000-square foot warehouse in that community.

“The tour is just for the (village) council,” said village Clerk Barbra Butch.

Gemini Group started building a new warehouse for Regency Plastics plant in June 2016 on 4147 N. Ubly Rd. Gemini received a state grant for $800,000 towards the $1.2 million project.

The warehouse is built on a 38-acre parcel that is within the Ubly Village limits and in Bingham Township.

The company operates four plastic plants and three metal plants and is the largest employer in Huron County, and specializes in blow molding plastic products for the automotive, lawn and garden, medical, industrial, and consumer industries, according to the Gemini Group website.

Also on Wednesday, the village council’s committee of the whole will meet to start the budget process for 2017-2018.

“The budget meeting is at 6:30 p.m. We are still getting (financial) information together to work on the budget so I don’t know what the budget will be,” said village Clerk Barbara Butch on Monday morning.

“We have to have a budget in place before March 1. Our fiscal year runs from March to February.”
